TELECRAPHED A BET.
And Alahama’s New Law Was Brought
. Into Action.
E. E. Williams, local manager of
the Western Union Telegraph com
pany at Birmingham,K was arraigned
in court Wednesday and was adjudged
guilty of a viclation of the Alabama
anti-pool law and fined $5O, for the
reason that recently he accepted for
his company and transmitted to New
Orelans a telegraph money order for
s£lo and a message instructing a parsy
at New Orleans to place it on a horse
race there., The act provides that any
corporation convicted of violation shall
forfeit its rights and franchises to do
business in the state; however, the de
fendant in thiz case was Mr. Williams
and not the corporation.

ONLY FACES OF WHITE
In Evidence at National Council of
Women of United States at
New Orleans Meeting.
The threatened trouble over the col
or question having simmered down,
the National Council of Women of the
United States opened their executive
session at New Orleans Thursday and
the general officers held their public
reception at night. No negroes were
present on either occasion. Mrs. May
Wright Sewall, president o 1 the inter
national council, said there has never
been any probability of the attendance
of the colored women at the social
function. Sfmilar receptions had al
ways been given at the north, but on
no occasion had a negro woman at
tended. “There are only two colored
women in the world entitled to be pres
ent at the business sessions,” said
Mrs, Sewall, “One is Mrs. Yates, of
Missoiiri, and the other Mrs, Williams,
of Néw Orleans. Mrs. Yates could not
come and sent her proxy:
“But Mrs. Williams, to Whom a
nroxy was forwarded, has written me
that she never had any intention of
participating in the meeting,”’ contin
ued Mrs. Sewall, “and so there has
rever been any danger of.a mingling
of the whites and blacks during our
stay in New Orleans.”
At the open business session the
National Press Bureau's report show
ed that not only had many more sec
retaries been appointed, but that many
moie newspapers throughout the coun
try had consented to publish items
concerning the work. The report on
peace and international arbitration
committee presented its most impor
tant report of the convention, showing
the spread of the movement. Another
important action was the passage of
an amendment to the constitution con
cerning the admission of members. In
the future the executive board will
pass upon qualifications of applying
bodies, and all affiliated bodies will
then vote upen the question of admis
sion,
The unfortunate announcement of
the possibinty of colored delegates,
which impelled local women to with
draw from the reception arrange
ments, not only made Thursday
night’s reception by the national offi
cers a slimly attended affair, but will
probably rezult in the future separa
tion of the convention of the Nation
al Suffrage Association and the Na
tional Council of Women, which have
heretofore always been heid in th 2
same city at the same time.
BURDICK’S NAME UNTARNISHED.
Only One Result of Inguest—Death of
Pennells to Be Investigated.
The inquest into the death of Edwin
L. Burdick, who was murdered just
one month ago ia his home in Ashland
avenue, cnded at Buffalo, N. Y., Thurs
day afternoon.
At the close of the inquest Judge
Murphy announced that an official in
quiry bearing on the death of Arthur
Pennell and his wife resulting from
the plunge of their automobile from
Kensington avenue into Gehre's quar
ry, would begin on Monday. The Bur
dick inquest nas sgrved to develop
several theories relative to the crime.
But the investigation has not added
anything more than an appearance of
reasonability to any of these theories.
Aside from the failure of the authori
ties to secure evidence bearing direc’-
ly upon the commission of the crim~”
or to establish the identity of the
murderuer, there is a feeling of satis
faction that the mame of Mr. Burdick
has been lifted from the mire into
which it was dragged and that his
character has been shown in its true
light. The evidence brought out un
der the examination of witnesses by
District Attorney Coatsworth has
shown Burdick to have been a loving
father, always willing to sacrifice his
own happiness and pride for the sake
of his children; that he was the vic
tim of false friendship, broken pledges
and in face of it all, a forgiving, in
dulgent husband.
The efforts of the authorities to fix
the crime upon some one will not end
with the inquest. At the same time
there is now little hope of success in
this undertaking.
Judge Murphy said after court ad
journed that his judgment in the case
would not perhaps be nanded in until
later in the week.

WIFE AND NEPHEW AKRESTED.
Highly Sensational Bevelopments
Grow Out of Assassination of
John T. Griifin. .
Mrs. Grifin and her nephew, a
young man named Knowles, were ar
rested Wednesday in connection with
the murder of Mrs. Griffin’s husband
who was killed Monday night at Ea
tonton, Ga. .
An informant relating the circum.
stances surrounding the murder of
Griffin says that few persons took any
stock in the story first told, which
placed the crime upon an unknown
negro man. Within a shbrt time aiter
the crime became known suspicion
was directed against Grifin’s wife and
the young man Knowles. So strong
was the suspicion that arrest Wwas
deemed necessary to prevent, sum
mary vengeance. No one now thinks
that a negro had anything to do
with it. .
Young Knowles is a son of the
brother in law of Mrs. Grifiin, AS
gtated, Mr. Griffin was murdered Mon
day night, it being taen aileged that
he was killed by an uninewn uegro,
as he was scated in his home with his
family. It was claimed that both har’
reis of & shotgun were discharged;
through a window. ‘
The first load took effect in the face.
and chest of Griffin, and as he spruni
to his feet the second load was fired
into his back by the assassin, causing
instant death.
It was claimed that Mrs. Grifiin,
frightened almost out of her wits,
rushed from the nouse screaming for
help. The negro eaught her and threat
ened her with violence if she made a
noise. Wrenching hérself from his
grasp she ran to a nearhy family of
regroes and secured their assigtanca
in arousing the neighberhood and in
stituting a search for the murderer.
CASTRO WAS ONLY BLUFFING.
String Was Attached to that Resigna
tien—Bows to Wish of Congress
and Reconsiders Action.
After reading his special message
to the Venezuelan congress at Cara
cas Wednesday, General Castro with.
drew his resignation of the presidency
of Veneczvela. He says: :
“When I abdicated, it was not from
any small-minded nor interested calcu-’
lation, still less was it the qesult ef
any sorrow or ridiculous iarce which
has no place in a heart warmed by the
heat of great ideals.” g
“Notwithstanding those reasons,
which were weighty to my mind,” h 2
continues, ‘“congress does not accept
my resignation and insists that !
should continue, that I should nop per
sist therein, but considers me still use
ful in the goveranment. I bow to its
desire and resign myself to the new
obligauons imposed by my country,
but only until the work of pacifying
the nations shall be complete and or
der re-established in the public admin
istration. Remember it well, senators
and deputies, 1 believe my separation
necessary; you think otherwise. I
hope the future will prove you right.
Accept an expression of my supreme
thanks for the genercus demonsira
tion of which you have made me the
object.”
e
INQUISITION WAS FRUITLESS.
Testimony of Mrs, Burdick Threw 1o
Light on Murder Mystery.
A Buffalo, N. Y., special says: Af
ter Mrs. Burdick had been tortured on
the rack of inquisitiop for two whole
days and the district attorney exhaust:
ed every clue, the mystery of Burdick’s
death is deeper than ever.
The closing testimony given by Mrs.
Burdick threw no light on the trag
edy. The merciless guestions asked
her as to her relations with Arthuar
| Pennell gave no inkling to the officers
as to the identity of the slayer.
District Attorney Coatsworth was
asked if he had discoverad any new
evidence.
«“We have brought out at this in
quest everything that we have,” re
plied be. “The public knows 25 much
as we about the case. Nothing of im
portance has developed iately that we
did not kncw Dbefore the inquest be
gan.”

title of a suit for $50,000 a"; jes
filed Tuesday morning in theé office
of the clerk of Fulten superior court:
a* Atlanta.
A temporary restraining order was
cranted by Judge Lumpkin enjoining -
the defendants from “continuipg any
unlawful conspiracy, comblnatm%‘i
asreement which tends or is intended |
tr unlawfully interfere with, molest
or disturh the business of the petition=
er, or interfere with his labor,” until =
a hearing can be had in the cms
The action of the Dr. Blosser coms
pany has been expected for : fi\gfi,
weeks, as it was intimated at the times
of the strike of the uniom pri :
acainst them, that legal proceedings
versus the alleged combination of ems=
pioyers of printers would be th@
sult. ';: fi’gfi
The sum of $30,000 is asked for om "
tl{e ground that there was suflem&\
antual loss of business, $lO,OOO by
son of the “combination and con m’;
acy” cf the defendants, and an adale
tional $40,000 as vindictive damages
for the purpose of restraining “the -
wrongdoers from further repetition of =
the injuries cemplained of,” and as
compensation for the weounded
ings of petitioner. ; "i;,é
The defendants in case are thirty
one in number. ¥ e
The paper alleges that the prian,,g
hag fermed a club which was in €=
foct a combination of conspirators,
wsing for their convenience' the nmfl—e}
of the “Employing Priuters’ Club,” of
Atlenta, and thot it iz a combine eF
cruet for illegal purposes, using tba%
designatien menticned and comprised -
of various esrporations, partnerships.
and individuals, embracing nearly tfi*
entire print'ng end publishing fraters "
nity cof Atlanta outsiae of the newswfl
ners of the city, the several members
of which and all of whom, =ingly lnfif;%
coilectively, combined, conspired SNE?E
confelderated to work the injuries here
inafter complained of, said members
acting separately for themselves umf{i
conjointly for the aggregation desig
nated “Bmploying Printers’ Club,” of
which it was a member. ; fi
The Blosser company assert that at
the time the club was formed they
were doing only the printing wm%k;,’
which they needed for the purpose o‘\
advertising their medicine business.
Later, when they enlarged their planf
pnd began taking in outside work,
{sey were waited upon by a committee
fiom the Employing Printers’ club and
aclied to become a member. A
The irm then “besought the commit="
feo that ‘hey would give to theme
some inacation of the character and’
scope of the Employing Printers’ club, -
and what that club proposed to accom
plizh for the benefit of the trade, buf
they were met with the suggestiom
from the visiting committee that the -
Fanploying Printers’ club was a secre&‘fl;
institution, and that it, was necessas
sy actually to become members there
of before its secrets could be lfif‘fa
parted.” 2y
It being represented, the petitiom
states, that the union labor would be
withdrawn from their shop unless the
Blosser compagy became a membogg
of the club, and it being further rep- .
resented that the club was stri.et@%‘g
a legitimate concern, they raade ap
p cation for membership and we!e‘g;
oace ‘admitted into full knowledge
of its secget mysteries,” and that 0w
the “petitioner charges that the aggrfi:%
gation of individuals, firms, and cor
porations conducting business under
tne name of Employing Printers®s
ciub, was devised and operated for
cingle and sole purpose of restraining
trade, of absolutely defeating and
stroying competition among bidders |
